where is that frustration coming from we see with jay carney? >> a lot of the frustration from those of us in the press corps is that you hear the white house -- both the president and his advisers acknowledging that there is confusion, that there is misinformation that's out there about the health care law but not acknowledging their role in creating the confusion. not acknowledging that some of this comes from their statements and explanations. in talking about the politics of it and their bunker mentality, you have senate democrats, particularly who are in these red states saying to the white house, maybe we need to hold on. you even had dianne feinstein who said to the chief of oh staff that maybe they should take down the website while they are solving the problems. from the white house perspective taking down the website or holding off for six months even if the end result. they don't want to be seen as having to admit that this simply isn't working. i will say quickly there is a thing republicans have to worry about. if everyone acknowled

lisa, the white house yesterday, jay carney effectively said yes there are some plans that don't meet the minimum standard of the affordable care act. that is, in fact, true. they would say though our plan allows you to get benefits. yes maybe your premium goes up, your deductible goes up but you have more benefits including for mental health. what did the white house tell you >> they basically made the same point. they said look anyone who is losing their insurance is losing their insurance because it doesn't meet our standards. and that this new policy will give people more protection, they can't be dropped because they get sick, they by and large will have a richer package of benefits. the problem is a lot of the folks we talked to who have received these notices first were shocked that they got them because they thought the president had told them they wouldn't but also they didn't like the government telling them what they had to buy. and they in some cases were very happy with the more bear bones policy that they thought met their needs, and cost them less. now there was one ind
